Mike peeler from strategic funding emails me every time a company is up for renewal and even if our merchant tries to contact them directly he notifies me immediately and makes sure I am involved in the deal closing and that We make our full commission ! There were a few times a merchant of ours went direct to strategic and on very large deals 200-300k and strategic could have easily tried to fund without us ever knowing and they came through each and every time and showed their true colors and proved their loyalty and kept us in the loop. Lesson to be learned for many of the funding companies of today that don't value the brokers!
